I can't believe everything that I'm reading here.  Wearing a mask is an extremely minor inconvenience when compared to the danger that you put others in by not wearing one.  Even if it turned out to be not true, all you've been is a little bit inconvenienced for a while.  

Behaving as if the virus does not exist is incredibly irresponsible and selfish.  I fully support wearing masks in all public places, and any/all other measures that it takes to protect my family, friends, and everyone else from illness and harm.  The time is appropriate to strengthen protections and regulations, not to decrease them.
